Best day so far! (1 Viewer)

Hey guys! So I’m a casual bird watcher, my life list is only 69 after about a year or so, I used to bird watch about 7 years ago and always wanted to see a kingfisher.. Never happened!

Today was the day! Went to the place of a known kingfisher spot.
Got there and nothing.. Again! but then a blue flash of light! Got my binoculars out and saw the little beauty dive into the water and grab a fish.

This has to be 100% the best day of my bird watching so far! So pleased!

Just thought I’d share!

Thanks for reading

Brilliant! Nothing quite like seeing an iconic and much wanted bird for the first time. Nice one.

You will never, ever forget that moment Chilt!!! You'll actually be able to remember everything about the day.

Always a thrill to see a Kingfisher anyway.... they're stunning wee birds, aren't they. I bet you didn't think they were really that small did you?

Chilt: you "got your binoculars out"?

Where were they?!

Never ever 'put them away'.

Forever in your hands!

Nice experience - first Kingfishers are unforgettable,

Cheers

I knew they wasn’t big but it’s that bright blue! They have always been my favourite bird!

Thanks
